Online word game with friends
A shared word board, ready when your friends are
Word Hearth is a free Scrabble-like multiplayer word game for one to six players. Build connected words from letter tiles, chase premium squares, and watch one shared board grow turn by turn.
There is no account, app, or download. Open a private room in your browser, start playing immediately, and send the invite link when friends are ready. Late players join the live game without resetting the board.

01
Make a word across the center
Your first word must cover the star in the middle of the 27 × 19 board. After that, every play connects to the tiles already down. New letters must sit in one row or column, and every word they create must be valid.
- Place one or several tiles, then preview the score before submitting.
- Recall or move staged tiles freely until you play them.
- Blank tiles can stand for any letter, but score zero points.

Turn good letters into bigger scores
Add the value of every letter in each word. A letter premium changes one tile; a word premium multiplies the whole word. Premium squares count only on the turn when a tile first covers them.
Use all seven rack tiles in one move for a 50-point bonus. The server checks the final board and score, so every player sees the same result.

Plan while others play
Arrange your next word during another turn. Friends see the squares, never your letters; conflicts return to your rack.
Swap, shuffle, or hint
Shuffle your rack anytime, swap tiles when the bag allows it, or use one of three server-checked hints.
Join the game in progress
Friends can arrive after turn one, receive a rack, and enter the rotation without restarting the room.
03
Finish with the highest score
The game ends when the bag is empty and a player uses every tile, or after two full rounds of passes, swaps, or expired turns. Playing a word resets that count. Tiles left on each rack are deducted, so final scores can be negative.
The results show the final ranking, winning score, biggest turn, longest word, and final placement. The host can start another round with the same seats and settings.

Play without Discord
A Letter League-style word game in your browser
If you enjoy Letter League's live shared board, Word Hearth offers a standalone alternative. Create a private link, choose one to six players, and play on mobile or desktop without opening a Discord voice channel, creating an account, or downloading an app.
Both games revolve around building connected words from a shared board. Word Hearth uses classic letter and word premiums, optional turn timers, and rooms that friends can join while the game is already running. You can also switch the timer off or start a solo room.
Quick answers
Online word game questions
Can I play this word game online with friends?
Yes. Create a private room and share its link. Up to six people can play on the same live board without signing up or installing anything.
Can I play alone?
Yes. Choose a one-player room for solo practice, or open a larger room and start while you wait for friends.
What happens when the turn timer runs out?
The turn passes automatically. That expired turn also counts toward the two scoreless rounds that end a stalled game.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Word Hearth adapts to phones, tablets, and desktop browsers with touch tile placement, board panning, zoom, and a fit-to-board control.
Is Word Hearth an alternative to Letter League?
Yes. It offers a similar live multiplayer word-board experience as a standalone website. You do not need Discord, an account, or a download, and you can invite up to five friends with one private link.
Can I play without Discord or an account?
Yes. Enter a display name, create a room, and share its link. Word Hearth runs directly in your browser and does not require Discord or registration.
Which words are allowed?
Common English words are always available. The room creator can also allow names, places, abbreviations, and rare or archaic words, plus a family-friendly filter.
Is Word Hearth the same as Scrabble?
No. Word Hearth is an independent Scrabble-like word tile game with a larger board and browser-first live multiplayer. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the owner of the SCRABBLE trademark.
